NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES 
ABOUT

The Freedom Rides Museum is located inside Montgomery’s former Greyhound bus station. In 1961, groups of nonviolent volunteers made history by successfully challenging the practice of segregation on interstate transit. This site, one of many where Freedom Riders faced mob violence, tells the story of these courageous activists.

The Freedom Rides Museum is owned and operated by the Alabama Historical Commission, the State Historic Preservation Office. Friends of the Freedom Rides Museum is the support group that assists with operating the site.

Come to the Freedom Rides Museum to learn more about how the Freedom Riders used nonviolent protest methods to transform our nation.

This facility is currently not available for rentals.
